About as bad as it could have been.The bike arrived a day late, was missing two bolts and by the time I got replacements and was able to use it, the thread on the peddle sheered within 3 days (only about 1hr use total as I'd only used it for my commute to work) and the bike has had to be taken back for repair/replacement.
Don't get me wrong, it was a nice ride before it broke but for £330 I'd expect more than 1 hour's life-span. I'm sure it's a rare occurrence to have so many issues in such a short time but being honest, buying this bike has been a terrible experience so far.

Superb bike.I have brought this bike for my son and he is extremely happy with it. Ticks all the boxes that he wants from a bike. Gears are very easy to use and of a good high quality. The colours are lovely and make the bike really stand out. Quality of finishing a very high standard.

Good bike but has some flawsI bought this bike earlier this year and I have been out every weekend on it.
I had to take it back after my first ride due the gears slipping. I had it readjusted at my local Halfords only for it to be no different.
I went for the Sulcata as it looked a bit more solid than the others bikes on offer for the same money in store and I liked the Green/blue colour scheme.
Overall I am very happy with the bike but it does need constant gear and brake adjustment every time its been out for a proper off-road ride (I had to google how to do it myself).
To be fair it has taken a hammering and nothing has broken so far. I ride Hadleigh most weekends and have had occasional trips to other trail centres so considering its price and that fact its probably not really built for that sort of riding it is doing ok.
Anyone looking for an XC bike I would recommend maybe investing a few hundred £'s more. Anyone on a tighter budget this bike will do but you will need to fiddle with it from time to time depending on how often or hard you ride.

Better than you would Think at this PriceI bought a Sulcata a little under a year ago with the view of being a little more serious with my off road riding and having 29" wheels at a then affordable price.
I have since sold the bike on but only because I got the chance to get a premium quality off roader. I still have happy memories of owning this bike.
The frame is well made and there are plenty of areas where the bike is easily upgradeable. The tyres are very good on a bike of this price and the front suspension is ok too although don't expect anything premium here. Disc brakes are a bonus for this price but for a few ££ more I would seriously look at a model with hydraulic discs.
Only downside for me were the gears, they are very budget and outdated. They work ok but need constant adjustment, the cables seemed to stretch somewhat too much.
However that asside, you get your moneys worth with this bike.I would recommend the Carrera range, they are decent quality for the price.
